Description
HYDRUS
aka Herman Wilken & Almer Lücke. Brought up on a steady diet of Plaid, Autechre and some excursions into rock, the duo are as familiar with aleatoric composition as they are with cutting edge beat programming, providing their music with serenity, grace and irresistible power simultaneously. Hydrus have proved themselves to be a wonderful live-act on numerous occasions.
HUNTER COMPLEX
Hunter Complex is the moniker of Lars Meijer (aka Larz, also member of Psychon and Living Ornaments). Meijer's music echoes influences from synthpop and new wave bands from the eighties, but will also appeal to fans of current electronic music acts.
FINE CHINA SUPERBONE
Unique, instrumental noisy rock that's fired at the listener relentlessly without a chance to breathe. These fine young men are three-quarters The Hague and one-quarter Rotterdam and have been going strong since before Y2K.
BOUTROS BUBBA
Rock band consisting of musicians that have formerly played in Gone Bald, Petrified Host, Quarles van Ufford, SGP and Crowd Surfers Must Die. Boutros Bubba's music is like a road with a sturdy asphalt surface, but with treacherously slippery patches. At times the fundament of heavy drumming and tight guitar riffs gives way to swaggering drinking music and suspenseful improvisations.
COEN OSCAR POLACK & MIA MIA
Coen Oscar Polack is co-founder of Narrominded. In his soundworks he investigates texture, abstraction and longform music without losing touch with emotion. He works with field recordings, found sounds and musical instruments. He has made site-specific works, installations and commissioned performances as well as albums. Polack is a member of Living Ornaments and Psychon and works with Herman Wilken from Hydrus on a regular basis. Romania-born MiaMia is a poet and composer/producer of electronic music. She collaborates with video-artists and photographers and performs live with her own audio-experiments. MiaMia also writes poetry since 1997 and performed at a variety of Dutch poetry events and festivals like a.o. 'Zingo Poetry Slam' and 'Onbederf’lijk Vers'.
GONE BALD
Gone Bald is the veteran noiserock band that originates from Zagreb (Croatia) in 1994. The day after birth the band hitch-hiked their way to Amsterdam where the band still operates from, to this day, even though Razorblade Jr. (guitar/vocals) is the only original member left in the band, now a duo with drummer Sultan Battery. Over the years Gone Bald has played hundreds of shows in every possible place from squat to highbrow theatre. The noiserock guitarsound has always been the foundation of the music, but there's also influences from mathrock and grunge to free jazz and new wave.
GARCON TAUPE
Garçon Taupe's music is mainly influenced by the electro sound of the 1980s, injecting some acid, 8-bit and disco in the mix. Since 2001, Garçon Taupe has played live gigs throughout Europe and contributed tracks to compilation albums on Narrominded, Esc.Rec. and Top Notch.
HAKKI TAKKI
Frank Schouten, aka Hakki Takki, is a sound-do-it-your-selfer and DJ from Amsterdam with a strong liking for bleeps and boing-tsjak-boem-boem. His Live performance is always a surprise. The sound of Hakki Takki can be described as spontaneous, energetic but most of all uninhibited and original.
